Utterly revolting to think they can get away with harming LGBTQ+ individuals… Let’s prove ‘em wrong.

We are just people, not "sensitive social issues"

My life and transness aren't a sensitive social issue. My existence isn't political, it just is. And this would majorly negatively affect multiple groups of protected marginalized peoples on this platform.

LGBTQ+ people are not a sensitive topic. We're just people.

LGBTQ+ individuals shouldn't be counted as a sensitive topic to censor.

I am not a sensitive social issue.

It comes down to nothing more than casual abuse. To aggressively suggest that ‘*those* types’ of human being (because diving people up into more and less desirable types doesn’t scream HEIL) not be allowed to be mentioned in conversation because *those types* of people are too ‘sensitive’ a topic highlights a particularly depraved perversion in the suggester. The only people ‘sensitive’ to lgbt people and migrants existing and minding their own business’ are career homophobes and xenophobes whose ideals pinnacle around violent, criminal behaviour towards those people. While I don’t doubt twitch would happily indirectly incite violence against minorities for revenue, there may be a time to consider; slapping this Jude star onto streams where the streamer isn’t a straight white man puts a prime target onto that stream and streamer to be the victim of coordinated, targeted abuse and harassment. It will not be used to shield the poor, poor bigots, it will be weaponised against casual but daily users, like myself. I wonder if twitch stands to make enough revenue from the handful of neo-Nazi’s it stands to stroke off, to ballast out the exodus of users who had the audacity to be born black, or poor, or gay, and not hide it well enough to avoid the site-encouraged persecution?

My existence is not political. I deserve to have a voice.

This feels incredibly hard to enforce, like what arethe limits to consider something "sensitive?" Is a trans streamer talking about their life sensitive? Is it someone talking about their struggles? Just being lgbt in itself? This is the first slope to a pipeline into becoming more intolerant to a group that is already censored enough.

Content supportive of such issues: sensitive
content that wants to see such be restricted: A-OK.

Might as well close my account at this point.

Existing is not political.
This new "rule" is disgusting and will only endanger already endangered people, flagging their streams as places to be attacked.
Do you not see the similarity between this and making the Jewish people wear stars of David.
This is inexcusable and cannot be allowed.

this is ridiculous and should not be implemented

Queer existence is only a sensitive political issue if you value the comfort of bigots over the lives of queer people. This is a disgusting, discriminating policy masquerading as moderation

So let me get this straight, because there are people out there who think it's okay to dehumanise me and people like me, we are suddenly a "sensitive social issue"?!

This policy is disgusting, if we don't tag ourself, the people who would love to ruin our lives, will get ammunition they can use against us.

And tagging ourself seems even worse, it makes it much easier for those kinds of people to find us.

what? how am I a sensitive topic

Forcing queer people to tag their streams as sensitive only brings more violence to our community and tells the people literally killing us that they are allowed to do that. How can y'all allow literal groomers, pedophiles, and bigots have this platform when people who are literally just existing are targeted and politicized by your ********?

That's like saying civil rights in general are sensitive issues. The moment you start doing this? You start to dehumanize people.

how am i a "sensitive social issue" im just alive

This is absolutely deplorable. I cannot believe this is even up for debate. Queer folks are not a political issue.

my rights are not a "censitive topic" you corporate ********
